I have Intel(TM) core 2 duo e4600 2.40GHz in my Desktop, currently I have 2GB DDR2 RAM but now I want to upgrade it, I have 2 slots on motherboard.
so is it possible to upgrade RAM to 6 GB or 8 GB.

If you're running a 32 bit OS, it will never go above 4GB so you would be essentially wasting money. Also, a Dual core to my knowledge does not take advantage of 8GBDDR2 RAM. If it does, I believe your e4600 2.4 would be severely bottle-necked. Good luck!

+1. I agree too.

What is your motherboard model number? If it is Dell or HP system then model number please?
